Anyone found with a commercial sg will have it deleted, they will be given a first and final warning, and the company that paid them will be added to a warning list of signature buyers. If the buyer is a member they will be told to not buy sigs here.

2nd offense gets you a nice new permanent ban. This goes for the buyer and seller. We may go as far as adding the buyers name to the swearlist so it gets censored in sigs and posts if they are getting people to advertise for them often.

You won't have any problem from me. As I say I signed up, then figured out it was against the rules here (or at least I assumed it was, now I know for sure) so I never did anything about it. Plus noone has offered to pay

essentially the sigs are for your information no one elses. They are to promote YOUR business no one elses. Certainly no exchange for money otherwise like Mike says you coudl be banned completly. If you are wanting to link to a site cos you like it then fine but anything that is being seen to improve something for a monetary benefit is not allowed.

Like anything these things can be hard to moderate - the harder to moderate the more servere we can be and also we only ask that the members are sensible and responsible but its amazing how many people are just out to make a quick buck and not actually learn more or help others

Might be worth updating that section of the guidelines regarding this thread
